1/12 `65 Shelby Mustang GT-350

This was build from the old Road and Track kit from the early 80`s. It is a *very* difficult kit if you are trying to get the body lines accurate. I don`t plan on ever building another unless the body is seriously updated. Many modifications were made to get this thing presentable. Not sure if you can tell, but this build was not a very pleasant experience.

You are exactly right! Nothing molded in for the radio, dials, or speedometer. I had to freehand everything, This kit really feels like it was meant to be a cheap die cast. So many details that are lacking. Here is my attempt:

To contrast this, I am working on the new 2010 1/12 GT500 Mustang kit out from Revell. Compared to the `65, I am almost convinced that if I shook the box to the 2010 kit, it would eventually assemble itself. It is a pleasure to build that after this one.

Very nice job on the dash. I only got as far as primering the body on mine. I have the yellow fastback also which the GT350 kit was based. Someone I will build them but it sounds like I better be patient when I do get to that point.
